Wolfhound Press

In November 2001 Merlin Publishing took over Wolfhound Press, which was established in 1974, and has a well-known reputation for producing high quality books of Irish interest. We are dedicated to maintaining this tradition and Wolfhound continues to operate as an independent imprint, with its own distinct list, under the Merlin umbrella.

Most recently Wolfhound Press has published the critically acclaimed The Ancient Books of Ireland by Michael Slavin, The All-Ireland Dream by Seamus McRory and The Throw-In by Brendan Fullam.

The Wolfhound Children’s list is extensive with many titles of great historical and cultural importance. We are currently re-launching the fox series by Tom McCaughren which is a modern Irish children’s classic. It includes the multi-award-winning books Run with the Wind and Run Swift, Run Free. The Liam O’Flaherty backlist, which incorporates the literary masterpieces, Famine and The Informer, is also being revamped.

In the past four years we have published and re-published many other successful Wolfhound titles including; The Men Who Built Britain by Ultan Cowley which sold over 20,000 copies in hardback, Captains of the Ash by Brendan Fullam and The Vikings, the seventh book in the highly acclaimed Illustrated History series.

We are always on the look out for new talent and ideas and our editorial team would be delighted to hear from you. Please check our Getting Published section for details.
